Do you love the smell of fresh blueberries, apple pie, or rain? Do you enjoy the soft warm glow of candlelight? Then, why not combine those two favorites and transform your home into something inviting and wonderfully aromatic? I know. You have tried this, and for the cost of the scented jar candle, you could only smell pine from a foot away. Don’t give up just yet! By carefully selecting your scented jar candle, you can enjoy the smell of fresh pumpkin pie without ever once having to turn on the stove.
Emptor Caveat: Don’t Buy the First One You See!
Scented jar candles are in every discount store and outlet mall you walk into. You can buy one for as little as a dollar, but the scents of these cheaper versions will, quite often, not reach past the lid. So, emptor caveat or buyer beware! If you only want the candle for the glow, then the cheaper versions should work quite well; however, if you are looking for something truly aromatic, then don’t skimp on the cost.
Scented jar candles come in a variety of styles and types. For example, two of the current best quality scented candles on the market are Yankee and Salt City. Both of these are known for both the ability to last and the fact that they can take a room from ordinary to spectacular in no time at all. These are both either paraffin or petroleum-based candles, and are seemingly costly but well worth every penny in the end.
If you are the type who is most interested in all-natural products, however, do not despair. Soybean wax is currently being used to manufacture quality scented jar candles, among other styles, that rival their petroleum-based cousins in cost and effectiveness. While these candles are a little bit more difficult to locate, if the lack of soot and the ability to clean messes with soap and water appeals to you, then persevere.
Another benefit to using a scented jar candle as an air freshener for any room is that most come with a glass lid. The lid will keep dirt out of the candle when it is not in use, so you never have to try to clean the wax. The lid can also double as a means to “snuff” out the candle when blowing it out is simply not an option. If you’ve always wanted your house to smell like blueberries, but have never had any luck, try again. This time, you have a bit more information and aren’t likely to get caught buying the “glow only” type of candle again.
